Re: FYI: Dior Homme Intense in stock at Strawberrynet, now in 100ml

As far as I knew, it was only available in 50ml, but they're selling 100ml bottles... I know Strawberrynet is SE Asia (hong kong?) based, so they must have access to stock not yet available in the US. Perhaps this is a new production run? I'm not sure (but I hope it's not a screw up!).

As to how it's different - I find that it's less powdery and has a little more oomph with regard to some of the basenotes and background notes. It also lasts much, much, longer. Some people have said that it's more gourmand then original Dior Homme, and I suppose this is true to an extent. I love both versions, and I'd began to despair that I'd never find another Intense bottle for under $125.

Thanks for the heads-up. Could you describe how the intense version differs to the original (which I very much like).

Intense is sweeter and iris is toned way down. Not as nice as the original but still a fine scent.

"I exist for myself, and for those to whom my unquenchable thirst for freedom gives everything, but also for everyone, since insofar as I am able to love - I love everyone. Of noble hearts, I am the noblest - and the most generous of those that yearn to give love in return. - I am a human being, I love death and I love life."

If anyone sees the 100ml Intense in the shops please get a pix of it. I've just emailed Dior about this new size and they are usually very good about replying.

I'm starting to get fidgety here as I am now ENTIRELY out of the Intense................

My bottle has already shipped - I'll post a pic when it gets here if you don't get a reply first.

Should I write to StrawberryNet for more info? Maybe a picture? I doubt they would list and sell the wrong product. They're usually pretty up on things, and they've been known to carry the more obscure products and sizes.

i asked my friend who works at the local boots how much of it they've sold. 4 bottles in 4 weeks. how much of the normal dior homme had they sold? 2 bottles. he said they usually only sell dior homme to people that already buy it, but these people were 'new' to the fragrance. i'd love to know how well it's been going in the larger stores in the city, but i wont ask them
but i guess the big NEW sign above the sport creates a "halo effect" to highlight the superior dior homme

Its not a flop it seems to be doing very well - it has the right blend of citrus/aqua that mass market consumer is use to.

Dior Homme was too floral/powdery if it would sell it would be for a unique few but hey Joe Six Pack is not going to wear it.

I'm glad to hear it's doing OK - seriously, I like Dior even though I don't like DHS. While it's true Dior Homme wouldn't appeal to someone looking for something super-masculine, it's been a commercial success - otherwise they wouldn't keep putting out different versions under the same name (cologne, intense, sport) Plus, 'Joe Six Pack' doesn't shop at Sephora anyway

I had an idea - maybe the 100ml size is a tester? The SN website says it's selling them unboxed. Intense must have been sold at retail somewhere, right? And if they sold it at retail it makes sense they'd use testers? Just a theory. We'll all know in a few days.

Today I could try it at last. Much sweeter than the original, for me the resemblance to Guerlain L'Instant eau de parfum is obvious. And albeit the iris is a bit muted down, it is there all along. I sprayed it 10 hours before, and still it lingers.
For me much more wearable for a man than the original or the Cologne version.

Im with you on the resemblance to L'instant EDP but i think is different enough to own both. definitely more wearable for man than the original. i love it. its a compliment monster.

Re: FYI: Dior Homme Intense in stock at Strawberrynet, now in 100ml

Has anyone actually purchased a 100 (or 50) ml from StrawberryNet? I ordered a 50 ml which arrived today wrapped in bubble wrap. It doesn't seem to last on my skin as much as the other one I have (i.e. I cant smell it there about 1/2 hour after), but boy am I getting a whiff of it from somewhere, so it must be good! Maybe my nose has just stopped smelling it.

I'd be curious as to whether the 100ml is just as good or not, although no reason why it wouldn't.
